Extraordinary high-resolution digital audio as you’ve never experienced it before - brought to you by audiophile design legends. Exogal has re-imagined digital audio technology and builds their products from the ground up, creating beautiful designs that produce extraordinary sound, providing a transformational listening experience. Its revolutionary technology enables you to hear music exactly how the artist intended it – with no noise, just pure sound – wherever you choose to listen.
Exogal was founded in 2013 by audio industry veterans who worked for the some of the biggest names in the industry. The founders, Jim Kinne, Larry Jacoby, Jeff Haagenstad and Jan Larsen have taken their collective learning from their 20+ years and have set out to create products that are “out of this galaxy.” By taking a completely new look at product engineering, Exogal delivers products that are aesthetically beautiful while producing extraordinary sound at a fraction of the cost of most high-end systems.
Jim Kinne is the technical heart and soul of Exogal. He’s a legendary audio engineer who’s produced countless award-winning products in his career, including the Wadia 27 decoding computer, Wadia 270 CD transport and the Wadia 790 PowerDAC, to name a few. Jim’s philosophy is to design products for optimal listening, not just to test well in a lab. If it’s optimized for listening, inevitably it will test well.
The reverse is not always true!
The Exogal Comet is a high performance digital to analogue audio converter (DAC). Just connect your computer, or other digital/analogue source, and experience exceptional audiophile quality sound. The Comet DAC does everything you would expect a high-end DAC to do, including balanced and unbalanced analogue outputs, digital volume control and asynchronous DSD-capable USB input - all at a sensible price.
Performance can be further enhanced by the addition of an even quieter external power supply.
